I bought the I’m From Mugwort Jelly Cleanser for my face — but it’s currently living in my shower, my bathroom sink, AND my gym bag.
Because this tube of green goo quietly replaced three separate products in my routine, and the de-puffing eye trick is the one nobody talks about.
It’s a $24 gel that swears it washes your face — but the ingredient list is basically a tea shot for your skin. I tried it because I’m From makes that famous mugwort mask, and this shares the same DNA.
Jelly-to-milk texture
It starts thick and jelly-like, then melts into a milky lather the second it hits water — no foam, no squeaky skin.
Mugwort 17.5%
That’s not a typo. Nearly a fifth of the tube is this soothing herb — it’s like putting a chilled green tea compress on your face.
Low pH formula
It sits around pH 5.5, so it cleanses without stripping your moisture barrier. Your face actually feels calm after, not tight.

It’s a one-trick formula, and the trick is good. There’s no fragrance, no essential oils, no drama. Just soothing botanicals doing their job quietly.
- Mugwort: calms redness and irritation fast, like a mini spa session
- Centaury extract: anti-inflammatory that helps fade post-blemish marks
- Betaine: draws moisture in while you wash, so skin doesn’t dry out
- Coco-betaine: the gentle surfactant that cleanses without bubbles or stripping

Imagine honey mixed with aloe vera gel — that’s the consistency. It’s slippery and thick, and you need about a grape-sized amount. It doesn’t foam, which freaked me out at first. But my skin felt like I’d just used a cleansing balm, not a face wash.
By week two, I noticed my morning puffiness was gone. Not just my face — my eyes. That’s when I started smearing it under my eyes for 60 seconds before rinsing. It de-puffs better than any $40 eye cream I own.

My redness dropped by half. My skin stopped feeling tight after cleansing. And I haven’t had a single purge breakout since I switched — which is rare for me with any new product. But it won’t remove heavy makeup. Like, at all. Don’t even try.

It’s the most versatile $24 I’ve spent this year. Your face wash shouldn’t be this good at everything else.
